Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for (i) an update on his departmental Review of the Social Housing Common Selection Scheme; and (ii) when he intends to make an announcement in relation to the review.


Answer:
Answer
The review has produced proposals for changing the scheme that are ready for public consultation. I expect this consultation to begin before the end of March and complete in the summer. The results of the consultation will be considered before a decision on the implementation of proposals will be made and communicated – most likely after the summer recess.
